Polygonal mesh files are planar, which means that they are represented by a series of flat facets. Therefore, curves can only be approximated through surface subdivision with a defined resolution. Polygonal meshes are convenient because they are lightweight and visualizations can be rendered quickly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Curve Modelling<\/strong>: Another type of modelling that relies on curves to generate surface geometry. Curve modelling can be both parametric (based on geometric and functional relationships) or freeform, and rely on NURBS (nonuniform rational B-splines) to describe surface forms. The curves are driven by mathematical equations that are influenced by the designer using weighted control points.\u00a0 Check out our entry on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sculpteo.com\/en\/glossary\/rhinoceros-definition\/\">Rhinoceros<\/a>\u00a0to learn more about curve modelling.<\/li>\n<li><strong class=\"cms-bold\">Digital Sculpting<\/strong>: This is a relatively new type of 3D modeling where the user interacts with the digital model as you would modeling clay. Users can push, pull, pinch, or twist virtual clay to generate their model.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sculpteo.com\/en\/glossary\/sculptris-definition\/\">Sculptris<\/a>\u00a0is a great example of digital sculpting.<\/li>\n<li><strong class=\"cms-bold\">Code-driven modeling<\/strong>: this is a growing area of modelling where geometry is generated autonomously based on conditions set in place by the designer.

Engineers and architects use it to plan and design their work. Photo-realistic renders will be perfect for real-estate purposes. Indeed, it will be the perfect way to show a project to a potential client. For more technical applications, simulation will allow testing technical parts without having to manufacture them. Some software is so powerful that it can predict how you will react under some precise circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Last and not least, 3D modeling is now part of manufacturing processes, especially with the growing use of additive manufacturing.
